Journal Entry Number 2:
It is April 7th, if you looked outside today it would feel like a normal day. It's almost 75 degrees out and the people in my neighborhood are not scared to go outside. I live on Sheridan road in Winnetka and the amount of bikers and walkers out does not fail to make it feel like a normal day. However, when I walk outside and observe a majority of the people respect the rule of staying 6 feet apart which is great to see. In the neighborhood a majority of restaurants are still open for carryout and delivery which is very odd to me. Occasionally I will go out to a drive thru to get out of the house and I have observed many people are out of the house. It makes me wonder, are people taking this as serious as they should be? Personally I have not seen this virus up close because I am fortunate enough to say none of my family has contracted the virus. If people were to take it more seriously in my neighborhood would this be over sooner?
I have heard many stories of people trying new things like trying to learn the guitar, or write left handed and I think people from New Trier are making the best out of the situation. I think the best part of the remote learning for me is being able to spend so much time with my family. Each night I get to do some type of activity with my family. I have been playing with my brother, cooking, puzzles, walking my dog and other different fun activities. In specific, my family and I are really using this time to bond and spend the most amount of time together possible. Throughout my day I have been watching the news and watching different announcements from J.B Pritzker and Lori Lightfoot and it seems like they are on top of things. I believe Illinois and the government is handling this situation very seriously and if we obey the rules they set in place we will be back to normal in no time.
